Here we are in the Completion List buffer.
Click on a completion to select it.
In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.
Possible completions are:
MIME::Base64(3perl) MIME::Body(3pm) MIME::Charset(3pm) MIME::Decoder(3pm) MIME::Decoder::Base64(3pm) MIME::Decoder::BinHex(3pm) MIME::Decoder::Binary(3pm)
MIME::Decoder::Gzip64(3pm) MIME::Decoder::NBit(3pm) MIME::Decoder::QuotedPrint(3pm) MIME::Decoder::UU(3pm) MIME::Entity(3pm) MIME::Field::ConTraEnc(3pm) MIME::Field::ContDisp(3pm)
MIME::Field::ContType(3pm) MIME::Field::ParamVal(3pm) MIME::Head(3pm) MIME::Parser(3pm) MIME::Parser::Filer(3pm) MIME::Parser::Reader(3pm) MIME::Parser::Results(3pm)
MIME::QuotedPrint(3perl) MIME::Tools(3pm) MIME::Type(3pm) MIME::Types(3pm) MIME::WordDecoder(3pm) MIME::Words(3pm)
Currently they are listed
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
I wish they were listed
1 3 5 7
2 4 6 8
because it is easier on my eyes / brain.
In fact that is how C-x C-d (list-directory) works.
Alas there is no completion-list-bla variable to set, nor no mention on (info "(emacs) Completion").
emacs-version "27.1".

Isn't this the `completions-format' user option?

OK please mention completions-format on
(info "(emacs) Completion")
And on C-h m mode help:
Completion List mode defined in ‘simple.el’:
Major mode for buffers showing lists of possible completions.
Type RET in the completion list to select the completion near point.
Or click to select one with the mouse....

Huh; the option isn't mentioned in the manuals at all. Odd.
Anyway, I've now done as you're suggesting in Emacs 28.

Can one use vertical completion similar to ivy now?
Have seen icomplete-vertical of Omar Antolín Camarena released in 2020.
Some improvements can be learned from ivy. For instance, to have colour
highlighting on matches
